power on or off (for around 30 seconds).
A lifetime of hard disk drive is limited by use.
It is recommended to replace it after around 18000 hours of operation to prevent data loss from disk failures.
Write error may occur frequently after around 20000 hours of operation and the head and motor deterioration
may occur and will reach their lifetime after 30000 hours of operation when it has been used at the
recommended ambient temperature (approx. 25℃{77℉}).
When hard disk drive trouble occurs, replace it immediately. Consult your dealer for servicing.
When replacing the hard disk drives, take notice of the following.

Protect the hard disk drives from static electricity.

Do not keep them upright.

Do not use an electric screwdriver to fix them.
3
(Tightening torque: Approx. 0.49 N. m {5 Kgf.cm})

Avoid rapid changes of the temperature/humidity to prevent condensation.
(Acceptable change: within 15℃/h{59℉/h})
Before You Start.
